The end of my first school year as a programmer is closing in.We heave learned the basic things of C++ programming.I have been doing quite good in programming so far and i passed my exam with 9 grade(9/10).But the real chalenge for me came today.I have accepted to write a program which will help me pass the 2nd exam.I am not quite sure if i can do it all alone,but it's ok since i am allowed to use all the sources avaliable to me.So far this community has been really helpfull for me and i hope it will stay that way.
The assistant of my programming professor came with a smart idea that i should make a program that will compare files in 1 folder and all of it's subfolders.It should compare their names,their size,if they are hidden and system files.And if these conditions are true it should print the names of those files and their locations.
I want you to know that my primary objective is to learn how to program and i,by any means don't want anyone to write this thing for me,i only need some kind of starting tips and pointers and some usefull thing that will help me writing my program.
Thanks in advance.
